2019 Map of Marathon

About this map

Marathon serves as the central hub of this Trans-Pecos landscape, situated at a junction of regional roads where the grid of the town site meets the open range. The topography is dominated by the Wood Hollow Mountains in the south, which are flanked by the drainage systems of Little Wood Hollow and Big Wood Hollow. These seasonal watercourses, along with Peña Blanca Cr and Beakley Draw, define the natural movement of water across the arid basin. Near the eastern edge of the survey, Blanca Springs indicates a critical water source in this high-desert environment. The map details the local infrastructure of the period, including Airport Rd and the street plan of the town, featuring thoroughfares like Iron Mountain Rd and Pena Park Rd.
